Is someone spying on your iPhone? This is the easiest way to find out, check it immediately
Apple has filed a lawsuit against Pegasus spyware-maker NSO Group in a bid to crack down on illegal spying on iPhones. Apple also announced that it will notify iPhone users who may be victims of cyber attacks by state-sponsored entities such as Pegasus. Not that these attacks are much different from regular malware or spyware apps that can spy on your personal data.
Apple describes state-sponsored attacks as the use of sophisticated surveillance technology that targets certain individuals, such as journalists, activists, lawyers, and others. These attacks target only a small number of users, and typically impact multiple platforms, including iOS and Android.
How to check if your iPhone or Apple device is being spied on
Apple will send alerts to the victim via email and iMessage notifications. An alert will be given on the email ID and mobile number used to create the Apple ID ID. If you want to do this check on your own then go to “appleid.apple.com” website and sign in with your Apple ID login details.
Apple will display a “threat notification” if any of your Apple devices associated with that Apple ID are spied on or are being spied on.
Keep these things in mind when checking Apple Threat Notifications
Apple has also warned users that these threat notifications should never ask you to click on any links, open files, install apps or profiles, or provide your Apple ID password or verification code over email or phone. Will say
If you get a verification code that claims to be Apple and asks you for your Apple ID details or asks you to click on a link, make sure it’s a phishing scam. Also, always use two factor authentication on your Apple ID to keep your account secure.
